- Take a Funk Driven Trip Through Nostalgic Eras with, "Salute You"
Massachusetts-based rapper Arichussettes got into Hip-hop around the age of five when he found a Walkman in a Mesa Arizona park. He became influenced by West Coast rap and then East Coast after moving to Massachusetts. Soon after, he began freestyling at house parties and was encouraged to try his hand at the rap game. He combined his two home states to form his name and began creating buzz around his sounds as he played shows opening for artists such as Onyx, Snowgoons, and Army of the Pharaohs. Fresh off of his most recent release, “Salute You," Arichussettes recruits Rockness Monstah of Heltah Skeltah to portray the larger-than-life sound heard on this powerhouse of a record. With the instrumentation basking in a nostalgic Funk-fueled universe that calls to a timeless era of creativity, we automatically take a plunge into the buoyant leap of talents that shape the artistic versatility Arichussettes effortlessly displays. Arichussettes drips his new wave charisma into this song by riffing about his obsession with guns and the lifestyle surrounding them. Accompanied by the cinematic component of a music video that cinematically embraces a Parliament-Funkadelic ambiance, the “Salute You,” visuals are planed tongue and cheek and meant to feel like a spoof on the neo-noir gunplay films of the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s. As he masters the art of being an emcee, the empowering juxtaposition that Arichussettes applies to his verses is unmatched. He rides the motion of each punch and groove formed in the beat as he provides listeners with a colossal sound found oozing from his rhyme schemes. The dynamism with Rockness Monstah meshes in purified fluidity. The skillset that these emcees offer weave together to put forth a top-quality product that has listeners moving to the beat of their own drum in “Salute You.” What was it like working with Rockness Monstah of Heltah Skeltah in order to give this track its desired sound? How did this collaboration come to be? A buddy of mine XL of the Creators linked me in with Rock. I sent two tracks and he was feeling them both so we made it happen. I wanted to release this one first because I already had a vision for the video and wanted to get to work immediately. I'm a fan of Rock and he's a legend to me so it was a big deal for me to get him on the track. Could you please take us into what the vibes were like on the set of the music video shoot? How long did it take for the full masterpiece to be pieced together? We had a blast doing the video. Everyone had a lot of fun dressing up in the seventies clothing. It was nice to see everyone dancing and goofing around and having a good time. It took about 5 hours to get the shots and Sando had the video to me about 12 days later. The entire video was shot in the WhyLie Studios. How does “Salute You,” hold up to other songs available through your music catalog? "Salute You," was the perfect edition to me for my catalog. I already have a few funk vibe songs so this was like taking it to the next level for me. Are there any memorable moments from the entire production that makes “Salute You,” that much more special to you? This video was a little more special to me because I had all my friends in it paying the parts. It's nice to have homies come through for you because without everyone it wouldn't have been possible. Definitely the most fun I've had shooting any video. What can we expect to see next from you? Up next I got 2 solo singles ready for April and one for May. Then in June, I will be putting out the second track with Rock and I also got Block McCloud on the hook with a more personal storytelling track. Instagram Twitter

Grooving his way in from San Antonio, Texas, the versatile artist and singer-songwriter Whapö releases a heavy-hearted single with "luv war." Surrounded by music from a young age, Whapö found inspiration through watching his father practice his guitar and playing in his Spanish rock band. Now, hooked to the feeling of writing and creating, Whapö strives to create atmospheric tunes that linger in the listener's mind. Recently releasing his heartfelt and groovy single, "luv war," listeners can hear incredibly dynamic aspects through the song's funky production and Whapö's warm vocal delivery. While singing a saddened message, Whapö grooves alongside the refreshing production and expresses his everlasting passion for someone through thick and thin. Deftly-produced by chibi, "luv war" opens with softly filtered guitar melodies and shimmering synths. Once the funky beat drops, the track begins to offer this upbeat and lively sonic atmosphere. Listening to Whapö's vocals, right off the bat, we're head over heels for his soothing and warm delivery, almost as if Frank Ocean and Kid Cudi had a brainchild. While expanding on his relentless love and desire for someone special, Whapö also touches on their relationship's rocky times and not knowing where to go next. Chibi's stimulating production offers all the rhythm we need to groove alongside Whapö's charismatic and passionate delivery, vocalizing his hunger for love until the very end. Lose yourself in the vibe of Whapö's latest single, "luv war," and get ready for the up-and-coming singer-songwriter to sweep you off your feet with each release. We're completely infatuated with the power and refreshing feel of your recent single, "luv war." Where did the inspiration for this single come about? Well for "luv war" I wanted to make a song that was different from other songs I wanted a beat that you could just dance to or bump your head to. So when I first heard the beat the chorus just came to me. Do you usually work with producer chibi when finding beats for your singles? What drew you to his production stylings for your single "luv war?" This was actually my first song with producer Chibi and it’s not the last! When I heard the first 40 seconds of this beat made me fall in love. I really like his beats and y’all should go check him out he has made some great beats! I will definitely like to work with his beats again. Seeing as your lyricism within "luv war" is incredibly emotional, did you face any personal challenges when expressing your thoughts and feelings onto paper? Or was it more of a needed therapy session? Writing this song I really wanted to put that story out there about how it is to fight for someone's love. I think almost everyone has felt this at one point in life love is tough sometimes and when you’re fighting for someone’s love it actually feels like you are going to war. We've noticed that you're quite a versatile artist. How would you describe your sound and style to a new listener? I am new to making music so I myself don’t know yet how to describe my music but I’d say if you like chill music or something you can bump your head too! I want to make music you can just feel like feel it in every part of your body. What's next for you? What’s next for me is that I’m working on an album right now and hopefully It’s going to come out soon! I’m also working on making a music video for "luv war!" Instagram
- CHATTERLESS Releases, "Long Shadows On The Sand"
Long-time film/video game composer and hip-hop producer MD of The Boomsday Alliance (aka Jayme McDonald) delivers the dreamy synth-wave instrumental ‘Long Shadows On The Sand,’ under his alias CHATTERLESS. Following his previous release ‘Stay With Me,’ CHATTERLESS takes a more upbeat route with ‘Long Shadows On The Sand.' An ode to the retro synth sounds familiar to old-school arcade games. This instrumental release from the Vancouver-based producer is sure to send your spine tingling with nostalgia. 'Long Shadows On The Sand,' takes you on a journey through the 80’s synth-pop era, with an uplifting exploration of 16-bit game music. Jayme McDonald’s work in the video game industry has paid dividends to his ability to create all-encompassing sonic worlds within his music. We can’t get enough of his time-shifting production, CHATTERLESS has successfully transported us to an almost ethereal landscape with 'Long Shadows On The Sand.' Be sure to immerse yourself in this otherworldly lo-fi throwback, now available on all streaming platforms. Can you tell us a bit more about your process behind this release? Every song starts with where I am mentally at that moment. In this situation, I was actually in a pretty dark place and trying to write something that reflected more of what I hoped to be rather than what I was really feeling at the time. As for the song "Long Shadows On The Sand" itself - the type of synths in this song really felt like a beach party or some tropical setting. The tom breakdowns at the end of each section might just be my favorite parts of the song. How much do you think your work as a film/video game composer has influenced your sound as an artist? It's a fight sometimes internally to not make, like, seventeen-minute songs but seriously I actually have a struggle sometimes with adding too much into song arrangements. I often have to claw back like 30-40% of what you hear in the final product. This was an issue sometimes too when producing for other artists. Producers need to learn to leave space for vocalists and I didn't always do that. I actually wrote this piece for a Chatterless release which has some of my favorite string arrangements I've ever written outside of my wedding procession themes. The song in question however made me feel concerned that the listener might not want to hear that from me just yet. Maybe a future single. You’ve dedicated much of your time producing for other musicians, how does it feel to be able to release your own work under the CHATTERLESS alias? It's honestly so refreshing and such a relief to be honest. I am very proud of the work I have done with the artists I have worked with and I plan on more in the future but sometimes it's nice only having to rely on your own strengths and vulnerabilities. Sometimes as a producer in addition to composing and arranging the songs you also are an executive assistant of sorts. You organize and provide therapy. You are constantly supporting personalities that are dealing with the same insecurities that you might be facing. It can be exhausting at times. Do you have any intention of releasing vocal-led collaborations in the future? The project is all instrumental even down to the name 'Chatter-less' so there is somewhat of a conflict initially when I think about it. But then after the release of "Stay With Me" (the 1st single from "Nobody From Nowhere With Nothing"), I was surprisingly approached by a number of vocalists from different genres (punk, pop, etc...) and experience levels. Something about this music unlocks the nostalgia vault in people's minds and allows them to try things they generally wouldn't. That inspires me and has really opened my own mind to consider doing this. I think it's inevitable. What's next for you? March 26th, 2021 is the release of "Nobody From Nowhere With Nothing." 10 songs of retro wave/synth goodness from Chatterless. If you enjoyed "Stay With Me" and "Long Shadows On The Sand," I think you'll enjoy the journey of this album. It's a pseudo-concept album but if that's not your thing you can just skip the first and last songs lol. Enjoy! instagram.com/md_boomsday

- Comforting Listeners With a Display of Vulnerability, Kyriakos Gabriel Varnava Releases, "Tonight"
With a love of Nirvana, Anathema, Radiohead, Madrugada, Sivert Hoyem, Kaleo, and Manchester Orchestra and plenty of talent of their own, Cyprus-born, New Zealand-residing singer-songwriter, Kyriakos Gabriel Varnava’s debut release was a long time in the making. After honing-in on his talent as a cover artist, he found his passion for original expression and released his charismatic creations into the world as of September 2020. “Tonight,” is the accordantly strident Alternative Indie Rock fourth single released by Kyriakos Gabriel Varnava which acts as a precursor to his forthcoming debut EP. Basking in the intimate soundscape of “Tonight,” a dimly lit glow in the instrumentation casts glimmers of mystery into the intimate setting held intact by deeply strummed acoustic guitar riffs, brooding keys trickling into the foundation, and the personally romantic timbres of Kyriakos Gabriel Varnava. Being Kyriakos Gabriel Varnava’s first ballad, the vulnerability that seeps into his creations is edgy and prevailing as he douses the composition in layers of the artistic framework. Welcoming his signature fashion of wearing his heart on his sleeve, Kyriakos Gabriel Varnava taps into this intrapersonal spectrum as he hopes to convey a relatability between himself and his audience when it comes to allowing them to feel the grippingly raw emotion poured into the musical creations before them. Collaborating with the tantalizing production elements of Ant Tarrant, the cognizant hues that emanate from “Tonight,” are an invitation for listeners to encapsulate an affectionately resonant mindset. Simmering on the messaging that Kyriakos Gabriel Varnava introduces to the slow-tempo single, his lyrical content captures the fruitlessness which sojourns in the wake of fragmented promises. Tackling yet another realm of his artistic versatility, Kyriakos Gabriel Varnava has his fan base tuned in to what the highly anticipated EP will contain in terms of themes and emotions felt. "This song was written during (and for) hours late at night when you are waiting and waiting for someone to come and you are left with empty promises." - Kyriakos Gabriel Varnava Instagram
- Not Blinded By the Bias, Lucidious Works to Boycott the GRAMMY's
Lucidious is an entrepreneur and hip-hop artist from outside the Washington, D.C. area. Currently located in Los Angeles, he has built a fan base in the hundreds of thousands and has totaled over 100 million streams across all available platforms. His music takes a strong stand on mental health awareness, personal struggles, and the pressure that many people face in our fast-paced, tech-driven society. With his most recent single and music video, “Grammy Weeknd,” being released ahead of the biggest weekend in the music industry known as The GRAMMY Weekend, Hip-hop artist Lucidious is standing in solidarity with his fellow artists as “Grammy Weeknd,” is an undeviating attack towards the gatekeepers of the music industry. Swaying between hues of blue and orange, the contrast of deep to warm lighting used in the music video is prevalent. Focusing on Lucidious boxed into a room isolated from the rest of civilization, we can only begin to let our head stray to the metaphor that lurks within this scene. With nothing but a couch, lamp, static television, and a broken mirror, Lucidious is left with his own thoughts driving himself crazy as he pours out his reflections through impeccably timed verses and buttery cadences that roll off the tongue. As he progresses through the dominant emotions taking over his being, we can see the scenes carrying through with the ominous lighting as we shift to Lucidious rapping intimately in a shipping container, and one on one in a reclining chair. Touring us through more of the realizations that may not be so apparent to the average Joe, Lucidious is here to put the music industry on blast. Lucidious’ music video ends with a limo party and final scene that has him sporting a similar blazer and sunglasses that The Weeknd rocks in the “Blinding Lights,” music video in fact paying homage to his great talents and replicating the opening scene that we know and love. Lucidious’ call to take action to right the wrongs that have become standard industry practices leave us feeling inspired and searching for a change. lucidiousmusic.com
- High Kick Yourself Into Gear with InGnious' Album, "Double Dragon"
InGnious is a Canadian Hip-hop group consisting of rapper Eric C and producer Jaydus Ceasar. They've been creating music together since 2014, but they wouldn't officially become a group until releasing a few singles together in 2016. Deciding it was time to take it to the next level, InGnious is back with their debut album, “Double Dragon.” Setting the tone for this body of work, Eric C and Jaydus Ceasar have taken it upon themselves to intricately create a soundscape that touches on numerous themes related to the two artists themselves. Allowing the focus to rise in a miscellany of nostalgic soundwaves, “Double Dragon,” exemplifies a series of traits that make Hip-hop what it is today. Through the entire body of work, Eric C ensures that each song is dense with his lyrical dexterity. Adding sentimental framework to each song on “Double Dragon,” the punchlines and metaphors are filled to the brim. Using “Catch Me,” the introductory single as the prime example, the organic nature of how each cadence flows is truly notable as the instrumentation directly steers you into the meticulous meaning of confidence that the emerging creatives want for you to submerge yourself in. As you take in specific tracks such as “Escape,” “Mirror Sessions 101,” and “Hate X Love,” you’re propelled into the cognizant universe that InGnious strategically carves out in their music. You’re able to emit a sense of uneasiness that allows you to be free with the spirited verses being depicted. Although each song that falls into a more cognizant category from “Double Dragon,” varies in meaning, we’re treated with subjects representing reinforcing confidence, being authentic with yourself, and putting your head down while you navigate through the highs and the lows of life. With “Mirror Sessions,” being a personal favorite of Eric C, the lyrical impact remains supreme as he takes an in-depth dive into putting off issues that only result in them resurfacing as trauma. Eric C is known for his knack for wordplay and various cadences. The energy that simmers through your emotions on this album is top tier. Making pristine flows and impeccable rhyme schemes the staple for InGnious, “Late Nights,” and “Red Light Freestyle,” are your golden ticket to a full-on wordsmith exhibition. Being the musical architect that he is, Jaydus Ceasar maneuvers around the production aspect and implants a fortified foundation that varies in technicality to compliment the vocals that are being laid down. Illuminating a heavyweight track if there ever was one, “G O D,” takes the cake as it stews as defiant in the face of the non-believers doubting InGnious. The personal touches veiled throughout “Double Dragon,” are truly the sprinkle on top of the album. With “Anthony's Interlude,” being Eric C’s baby boy speaking on the track, it relates to him primarily as a first-time father, and secondly as an emerging artist. The way that Jaydus Ceasar paired the tantalizing tones with a medley of golden saxophone notes to radiate the optimistic lens is breathtaking. With his son being the biggest source of motivation for Eric C, the two worked together to have that be more apparent than ever. Closing “Double Dragon,” with the perfectly placed outro “F.4.C.T.Z,” this record blends the overall quintessence of InGnious as we reach a moment both subdued, and victorious. Shaping the future path that InGnious will venture on their next endeavors, this outro is the moment that states they have finally arrived at a newfound level of glory and they won’t be pumping the brakes any time shortly. With the emotional intelligence of InGnious embarking on a sonic expedition, “Double Dragon,” is exactly what their fan base needed in order to further see how the bigger picture will pan out, and how the stars will align for this charismatic duo. Welcome to BuzzMusic, InGnious, and congratulations on the release of your debut album, “Double Dragon.” We love the moments spent tapping into who you both are through a different lens outside of your artistry. What was the overall concept of this album supposed to be? We wanted to make an album that was a true representation of who we are as a group & we work better without attaching any concept or elaborate idea to projects, when we've tried to do that it never worked out for us in the past so the concept was really simple our best beats + our best rhymes = Double Dragon. How did you two come to create music together in the first place? What made it certain so you could both feed off of each other’s energy without comprising one another artistry? We met each other in 2014 while working in a furniture store, we were both already making music by then so it wasn't too long before we got together in the studio & the rest is history. As far as our chemistry goes we just trust in one another that's really what it comes down to & as the saying goes "In Jaydus We Trust." We know your favorite song on the album is, “Mirror Sessions 101,” but is there a particular song that resonates with you more at this moment than that track? Why? Jaydus Ceasar: The other track for me that resonates is escape cuz all were doing is trying to escape the loop of life, in which we don't belong and we gotta continue working to achieve what is needed to escape that loop. Eric C: For me, it would be Late Nights I just love the vibe of it that song resonates a lot with me. Eric C, how important is it for you to be vulnerable with the lyrics that you put out to your fan base? It's not something I find hard to do, so long as I'm being myself and it feels right to me I think my fan base will appreciate the fact that I'm so open about my life and that I don't hide behind a gimmick. We would love to be taken into the creative process on the production side by Jaydus Ceasar! How did you know which beats would make the cut? I tried to stay in the whole jazzy vibe and the type of beats Eric would listen to, and basically, it's a back and forth between me and him to see which one fits with the whole album, and I kept in mind the smoothness of the transitions between each beat so it doesn't sound off or "not the same style".

- Gabbi Mixx and Yung Meme are a Musical Forcefield
Coming from North Carolina, Gabbi Nixx combines many elements from Funk, to Rock, and R&B, along with satirical lyrics and a mysterious nuance. Joining forces with Yung Meme, a Hip-hop artist hailing from Columbia, South Carolina, the unique headspace that we tap into is meshed together with Yung Meme’s raw energy and rage, Defining the gritty upbeat sound that continues to propel him further towards stardom, the collective of this artist give listeners a taste of their universe. Delving into the collaborative efforts of “Hey Mista Meme,” Gabbi Nixx and Yung Meme lure us into an enticing world that’s catered to their magnetic panache. The mid-tempo to upbeat fusion that has our speakers jumping asks us to surrender to a mind-altering soundscape that provides listeners with the best of both worlds. Gabbi Nixx has such exclusive confidence that shimmers in the poise she carries. Her wide vocal range elevates her to places that we beg to explore, as we sink our teeth into the oozing charisma that has her soul-infused timbres blending with charisma. Yung Meme effortlessly slips into this beat with his icy cadences. Applying his lyrical dexterity as he approaches a melismatic vocal delivery, the reverberated echoes that radiate from his performance remain stimulating. The pair of artists illuminate the stage brightly as they make an impact on their genre-bending offering of, “Hey Mista Meme.” The vigor that they share is unparalleled as the manner in which they complement each other’s styles is presented in such a boisterous way. It’s only up from here for both Gabbi Nixx and Yung Meme as they continue to shine individually and as a dynamic duo. Be sure to add “Hey Mista Meme,” to your favorite playlist; and be prepared to hit repeat. Congratulations on the release of your single, “Hey Mista Meme.” How did this collaboration come to be? Beyond grateful to be here! Yung Meme and I are artists who admire each other stylistically and so we decided to take it a step further. We honestly didn’t know if a collaboration between us would sound right in the beginning! We’re very different artists in a musical sense and so we went into the process knowing that the track would be a hit or miss. I basically just sashayed on the track with my verse and then I sent it back to Meme who got it done and booming in record time and we had a finished song within the span of a few hours. What’s the overall thesis of this track? What are you hoping your listeners take away from this? Strangely enough, this is one of the only songs to my name that doesn’t have some deep, metaphorical meaning to it! Meme is more of a lighthearted creator who has a talent for creating music with really fun energy and so I tried to channel the same airy nature when writing my verse. Essentially, we’re both just hyping each other up throughout the song and hopefully, it gets our listeners in the same gassed up, feeling yourself, type of mindset. Could you please take us into the creative process that was endured for “Hey Mista Meme?" When working with rappers, I normally take on a DooWop Girl-like persona where I introduce them or tell their tale in my funky, melodic way. Then the rapper usually just uses that for leverage to blow themself up further and it works out fine. Yung Meme, however, threw me my same energy back in a different package if you will, and it created a very unique and dope dynamic between us! It was definitely the type of combo that you can’t create with just anyone! Can we expect more collaborations from you two in the future? What was it like working with one another? Hell yeah! Meme actually has our track set on a really bitchin ', and carefully curated album that he’s releasing in late April- which everyone should totally check out by the way aha! But yeah, we definitely will find more sounds to blend and push our genre boundaries even further in the future! Working together was actually much easier than one would think. As an artist who primarily relies on singing vocals and original bass lines, it’s always interesting to work with rappers who focus more on straight recitative. Yung Meme just has this impressive way of freestyling his way into any verse and it makes for a sonic quick and refreshing kinda flow! We easily pushed each other a little out of our comfort zones to blend in the boldest fashion! And at the end of the day, that’s what creating art is all about!

I was feeling all kinds of unsure emotions as a full-time recording artist, and felt like the only true comfort I could find amidst this crazy lifestyle I was living was love. Money, Success, and materialistic things all felt good at the moment but quickly faded. I wanted to let listeners know that even people like myself who get to travel and seemingly live out their dreams, still become unhappy if they don’t have true genuine love around them. No material thing could ever replace that. Could you please take us into the creative process for the music video? Were the nostalgic-themed visuals always a goal of yours when bringing this idea to life? Honestly, the 70’s nostalgic vision came from my producer and I instantly fell in love with the vision. When you hear the guitar and production of Window, you automatically feel a groove and there isn’t a groovier time to me than the 70s. I instantly knew I had to have a scene with an Afro and a funky gold tooth hands down! The rest of the wardrobe came from weeks of thrifting around West Hollywood. I, like a lot of people, also felt like 2020 sucked so I was all on board for shooting a visual in a time period when things were simpler! Did you work with any producers or engineers to help the essence of your dreamy confidence fly high in “Window?" My producer Corey Cooper was definitely a huge help in making the vocals fly high. The harmonies were so essential to the feel of the record as a whole and vocal arrangements are his strong suit. My engineer also helped make some final touches that really sonically took the record to the place I wanted and gave me a lot of confidence musically. What is the main message that you send out to your audience as an artist? To be genuine and passionate in everything you do. If you’re an indie artist like myself, own that. Own your journey, your struggles, own everything about yourself. What can we expect to see next from you? You can expect to see more visuals and hear more timeless records like "Window" all 2021!
